In case you hadn't guessed already, I've pretty much been describing my own ideal world.
This story was inspired by the story "Friendship is Optimal" at FiMFiction, a story I was pointed to in the comments of an article about AI. If you're going to read it, I'd also recommend reading the related stories by Eakin, namely "The Law Offices of Artemis, Stella, and Beat", "The Longest Night", "Psychopathy is Configurable", and "All the Myriad Worlds".
Naturally after reading "Friendship is Optimal" and enjoying it, I got to thinking, besides the obvious bugs CelestAI had and how to fix them, what sort of world would I want to live in? And what would it take to actually live out some of my fantasies? That's basically the explanation for most of the handwaves; it's something I want, and so the universe described in this story makes it so.
But I'm getting away from myself. Besides giving myself a hopeful future to fantasize about, I kind of wanted to point out a possible future for everyone; one where you can live out your heart's desires.
